In the FY2025 DoD budget (~$850B), Research, Development, Test & Evaluation accounts for ~17% ($143B). Operations & Maintenance (encompassing most logistics) is ~40% ($338B), with direct NATO obligations at ~0.12% ($1B) but broader NATO-related spending (e.g., European Deterrence Initiative) adding ~0.3%. Thus, logistics + NATO ~40% vs. R&D 17%.
